PhD Proposal Defense - Andrew J. Gunnell

Mechanical Engineering A Doctor of Philosophy Proposal Defense Entitled: A Biomechanical Framework for Evaluating and Improving Wearable Assistive Technologies in Stroke and Amputee Populations   By: Andrew J. Gunnell Date: February, 4th, 2026 Time: 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM (Public portion) Location: 3350 MEK Committee Members: Tommaso Lenzi (Chair) Jake Abbott Bo Foreman Haohan Zhang Erika Pliner   Project Summary Mobility impairments affect millions of people worldwide, but wearable robots offer promising opportunities to enhance lower-limb function for stroke survivors and above-knee amputees. However, despite this potential, these devices have not yet been widely adopted in clinical practice. This is largely because we lack a biomechanical understanding of human-device interaction in populations with impairments. This research addresses that gap by developing a comprehensive biomechanical framework describing how wearable assistive devices interact with impaired users, specifically in two key domains: how a powered knee exoskeleton… Campus Wide Event: Yes.

Biomedical Engineering Seminar - Dr. Dustin Williams

Biomedical Engineering BIOENGINEERING ELEVATED TALK CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH, Developing a Biofilm Buster, Tony Stark Style,   Dr. Dustin Williams, Professor, Dept. of Orthopaedics, University of Utah, In person in SMBB 2650! Fracture-related infection (FRI) treatment remains a major unmet need in healthcare. Rates of FRI have gone unchanged since the time fracture types were defined in the 1970s. Current standards of care frequently fail in part because they do not target the biofilm phenotype, which underpins difficult-to-treat infections, and are not refillable. The Purgo Pouch addresses these limitations; it is a surgically implanted refillable drug delivery device that sustains local, high-dose antibiotic therapy via passive diffusion through a rate-controlling membrane. Using sheep models of biofilm-inoculated FRI in tibiae and biofilm-inoculated fusion rods in spines, Purgo Pouch safety and efficacy were tested with various antibiotics, tobramycin being the lead delivery… Event Categories: Seminars.
